The Infantry def. The OutrunnersThese two teams have had several interactions backstage on ROH TV (which were wisely recapped before this bout aired), so I appreciated that this had something of a story behind it. I still couldn't care less about The Outrunners, but I'm glad The Infantry continued to be featured following their failure to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship at Supercard of Honor. This lasted a little longer than I would have liked, but it was decent and had the right result.

Katana Chance and Kayden Carter def. Chelsea Green and Piper NivenUnless WWE completely ignores the Brand Split rules (which they're obviously known to do), this will be the last match these teams have with each other for a while with Green and Niven getting drafted to SmackDown this past week and Carter and Chance remaining on Raw. Chance and Carter have lost a lot more matches than they've done since dropping the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship earlier this year, so this was a nice win for them in what was a perfectly fine match.
The Patriarchy Attacked AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Price NanaChristian was not who I was expecting to challenge Strickland for the AEW World Championship, but he's a great choice. Of course, he's done nothing to deserve a shot as we haven't seen him since he lost the AEW TNT Championship to Adam Copeland in March and it goes against the completely-pointless power rankings, but I appreciate how the acknowledged how he still had bad blood with Strickland over Strickland eating the pinfall loss in their tag team match at All In last year. Christian isn't winning the title from Strickland, but I'm really looking forward to that match.
AEW Unified World Trios Champion Jay White def. Dante MartinBang Bang Gang beat Top Flight and Action Andretti to retain their tag titles last Saturday on Collision, so I don't know what purpose this was supposed to serve other than to get White on the show. Don't get me wrong, they had a quality contest, but I'd much rather see White involved in something more important than being relegated to Rampage. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening as long as he's one-third of the Trios champs.
